Brethren, I am of the same mind as ever—that holiness is the best choice; that there is no entering into heaven but by the new birth; that "without holiness you shall never see God." Ah, my beloved, refresh my bowels in the Lord! "If there be any consolation in Christ, any comfort of love, any fellowship of the Spirit, any bowels of mercy, fulfil ye my joy." Now give yourselves unto the Lord. Now set yourselves to seek him. Now set up the Lord Jesus in your hearts, and set him up in your houses. Now come in and "kiss the Son," and accept the tenders of mercy, touch his sceptre and live; why will ye die? I beg not for myself, but fain I would have you happy: this is the prize I run for, and the object I aim at. My soul's desire and prayer for you is, that you may be saved.
Joseph Alleine — Joseph Alleine, An Alarm to Unconverted Sinners (1824 ed.), p. 85
